Book Reviews of When in Rome
Book Review: More Entertaining than Informative
Summary: 4 Stars
Although there is wealth of observation on the workings of the Vatican beaurocracy, it is mostly superficial. Although there is considerable amount of historical information, it is mostly trivial. Still, Hutchinson is an engaging and entertaining writer: When In Rome is fun to read and may change the way you think about the Holy City. Hutchinson is Catholic, but this is a no-holds-barred depiction with a very American enjoyment of the paradoxes of the Vatican.Book Review: F***in RAWKS man!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Seldom has the real-life Vatican been portrayed so amusingly and in such detail by an American author. The book's stellar, pristine and pyrotechnic prose reveals some really juicy dirt about the current and the past Holy See. Hutchinson tells IT LIKE IT IS!!!!! AMEN!!!!! in short and easy to read chapters. This book was impossible to put down. I read it until I finished at 4 a.m. I wish he would write more about other places he would like to take his family on vacation. Also, I'd like even more scandal on what those sleazy Vatican journalists are up to!!!!! Wouln't mind hearing more about what the cardinals and other prelates are up to.
